Aggieland Welcomes Its Newest Star: Chance Collins Makes First Official Visit as Texas A&M Commit
COLLEGE STATION, TX – The sun rose a little brighter over Aggieland this past weekend as Chance Collins, one of the most electrifying high school football recruits in the nation, made his first official visit to Texas A&M as a committed Aggie. For the 6-foot-1 dual-threat quarterback out of St. Louis, Missouri, it marked not just a symbolic moment—but the beginning of a dream in maroon and white.
Collins, who committed to A&M earlier this spring over finalists LSU, Tennessee, and Oklahoma, was welcomed like royalty upon arrival. Greeted by fans, staff, and fellow commits at Kyle Field, the young star looked every bit the part of a future SEC standout. “This is what I’ve worked for my whole life,” Collins said during a brief media scrum near the Bright Complex. “Now it’s real. Now it’s home.”
The visit was filled with key moments: a film breakdown session with offensive coordinator Collin Klein, a private chalk talk with head coach Mike Elko, and a team dinner featuring several Aggie legends, including former quarterback Kellen Mond. But perhaps the most stirring moment came when Collins stood at midfield inside Kyle Field. With the massive 12th Man seating surrounding him, he simply whispered, “This is where I belong.”
A&M fans took to social media all weekend to share photos, videos, and updates of Collins’ visit, hailing him as the future face of the program. His leadership qualities, blazing speed, and ability to make plays under pressure have already drawn comparisons to a young Johnny Manziel—but with a steadier hand and a bigger frame.
“This visit just made everything feel official,” Collins added. “The culture, the coaches, the fans—this place is different. I’m ready to build something legendary here.”
With Chance Collins officially embracing Aggieland, the future of Texas A&M football looks not just bright—but explosive.
